"Water rights defender Karina Ruiz Ocampo, who had been disappeared since April 13 after unknown persons broke into her home and forcibly took her away, was found dead on Saturday, May 3, in the municipality of Amatitán, Jalisco. Karina was a member of the organization La Cima Nuestra Prioridad, and defended the right to water in the La Cima neighborhood in El Arenal, where she lived.
"Due to her advocacy work, Karina had received constant threats through social networks, and feared for her safety. March 23, 2025 was her last participation in a public demonstration."

No fan narcocorridos, the narcos they're based on, or their apologists. Also no fan of the state legislating what can and can't be said. And here we are.
"Los Alegres del Barranco, a regional Mexican music group, resorted this weekend to a tactic known as 'massive karaoke' to evade the ban on performing narcocorridos at the Plaza de Toros in Cihuatlán, Jalisco.
"During their May 3 performance, the band played instrumentally the corridos 'El del Palenque' and 'El Doble R', both allusive to leaders of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), while projecting the full lyrics of the songs on giant screens for the audience to sing along."
"Through a press release, the Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco collective reported the murder of its member María del Carmen Morales, who was killed on April 23, 2025, along with her son in the Fraccionamiento Las Villas in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga. She had been looking for her son Ernesto Julián Ramírez Morales since 2024. This is the third murder of a family member of a disappeared person in the state."

"We are beyond petitions, demands, special mechanisms, and technicalities. The searchers’ struggle is the final call of humanity to stop this madness of ambition, death, and pain. After that, there is nothing awaiting us but the grave, for those of us who feel the pain and for those who cause it."
New translation up on @igd_news of a powerful collective letter responding to the discovery of an extermination camp in Teuchitlán, Jalisco:
"We have seen how the blood that runs through the country and the bones that are hidden under the earth multiply due to a violence – both state and non-state – that does not cease. Meanwhile, the criminal structures inside and outside of the State are strengthened, under the cover of a politics of silence and structural, systemic, and routine impunity that only justifies more war, more death, and more pain."
"Ten days after the disappearance of Édgar Axel Ríos Urzúa, a student at the Polytechnic School of the University of Guadalajara (UdeG), hundreds of young people, mothers and collectives demonstrated this Sunday, April 6, in downtown Guadalajara to demand that he be found alive.
"During the demonstration, students from different campuses of the UdeG placed banners with phrases such as 'Where are they?' and 'It was the State', in addition to black bags simulating bloody bodies, in a symbolic action that sought to make visible the seriousness of enforced disappearances in Jalisco.
"Since 2014, 26 people belonging to the University of Guadalajara community have been disappeared."
Last Saturday in Jalisco, "Los Alegres del Barranco" played a concert where they sang a narcocorrido praising El Mencho, the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), while projecting his image in the arena.
This has caused a minor uproar amid the media and state and federal officials. Currently there is a law in Mexico called "apology for crime," punishable by six months in prison.
A congresswoman with the ruling MORENA party is proposing a bill to increase the sentence and to make playing narcocorridos at concerts or on the TV or radio punishable by two to four years in prison.
While I'm no fan of narcocorridos, what is at issue is that the State, both unwilling and unable to actually do anything about organized crime itself, prefers to silence cultural expression about it. It's an easier target and makes it look like they're doing something.
A leading mother in the search for the disappeared, Teresa Gonzalez Murillo, died today after an armed attack in Guadalajara
"Three armed men forced their way into the home of Teresa Gonzalez Murillo, a searcher and vendor's union leader, in order to kidnap her; however, when she resisted the aggression, the member of the collective Luz de Esperanza Desaparecidos Jalisco was shot, causing an occipital and mandibular injury that keeps her in intensive care.
"The organization Fundación para la Justicia has recorded 9 murders of searching families and the disappearance of a mother between the years 2021 and 2024; to this painful reality are added the cases of Magdaleno Pérez Santos and Sofía Raygoza Ceballos."

"The discovery on March 5 has sent public anger rippling across Mexico, as the country grapples with a crisis of mass disappearances at the hands of criminal groups and government officials."
"This March 15, thousands of people in more than 10 states in the country united in a National Vigil and Mourning to demand justice for the more than 120,000 disappeared persons and to demand a stop to the forced recruitment of young people. In Mexico City's Zócalo, hundreds of shoes symbolized the absence of the victims, while collectives and families clamored for government action."
New translation up on @igd_news on the extermination camp found in Teuchitlán, Jalisco, last week.
"To understand the objective of an atrocity of this type is very difficult. The absence of intelligibility is part of the same device of power: the less we understand, the more we are paralyzed in horror, the less sense we can make of what initially seems to respond to the irrational, to the monstrous and unnameable, the more space this kind of power will have to deploy itself."

After authorities uncovered a body and arrested cartel members at a ranch in the state of Jalisco in Mexico, the investigation seemed to come to a stop. Months later, families searching for missing relatives took a look for themselves. Read more from @AssociatedPress about what they found.
